The cofounders of Thinking Media, a Chattanooga developer of career readiness programs for students, are placing their North Shore property on the market, listing the building for about $1.8 million.
CEO Sheila Boyington, who started the company 29 years ago with her husband, Dane, said the couple’s adult daughters are married and now have kids of their own.
“The business had grown to the point where we were ready to kind of cut the ties and enjoy the rest of our lives,” Boyington, who also chairs the Erlanger Health Board, said in a phone call. “Not that we haven’t enjoyed every one of those 29 years that we had the company. I work with my husband, my best friend, and we have a really great working relationship. We complement each other very well.”

The two-story building at 340 Frazier Ave. totals 4,400 square feet and was originally constructed in 1925. The Boyingtons started the company in their home before eventually purchasing the North Shore structure about 21 years ago. It has a full kitchen and an original tin ceiling, which the Boyingtons refurbished.
